Why blog? I don't even have a facebook account...it feels like it makes life so public. But then--blogging is kind of like a diary, isn't it? It makes me feel a little like Doogie Houser at the end of the day--collecting my thoughts and putting them down. I don't want to blog because I want my life to be public (though I don't mind wearing my heart on my sleeve, most of the time) or because I'm a narcissist, but because these days of our young family are so precious I don't want to lose them to a faulty memory. This time, this stage, these moments truly are 'a time to keep', and blogging is simply the most convenient way to keep them and share them.

I really didn't think I'd ever start a blog...but now that Mac has stopped calling firetrucks "fire knuckles" (he now calls them firetrucks, and I'm so sad!), I realize I'll forget that he ever did that if I don't write it down. So, the blog begins. Welcome.

Happy Snow Day...and other randomness!

Is there a snow day tradition emerging?


We've been trying to organize all our photos and videos in one place. We came across this...
A computer glitch (maybe?) caused the original date to be listed as January 3, 2011. Clearly incorrect. Based on what he's wearing and the painting in the background (which I was painting the day I found our I was pregnant with Arden! I will always think of it as her painting!), it must have been filmed when he was around 18 months old. My heart about melts when I watch this one.

And now some fun mom and dad pics!
Isn't this sweet?

(Yes, they are wearing their stockings. Why not?)

And one more:

Here's to hoping that our power stays on tonight (it's already been out for a bit!) and that Auburn wins!
